Remove Drums from Song

When you remove drums from a song, you want the rest of the instruments to stay intact. Our [Stem Splitter](/) divides your upload into five separate stems: vocals, drums, bass, other, and an instrumental track. You can mute the drums and keep the vocals, bass, and other instruments playing together for a complete backing band.

You can remove drums from a song and hear the results without spending money. Every upload generates a 30-second preview starting at the 30-second mark, so you can check the separation quality. You get one free split a day without an account, or five free splits a day when you sign in.

Practicing along to a muddy track makes it hard to hear your cues. When you download your full song for 125 credits, you get all five stems in both 320 kbps MP3 and 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV formats. The uncompressed WAV files give you a crisp drumless mix for your monitors.

There is no monthly subscription required to remove drums from a song.
